I decided to check just how many miles per hour my Granny Charger would deliver. Experiment conducted over two days, yesterday and today.
My MG5 Long range was charged from its existing 40% to 100%. Checked on the mileage delivered over two lengths of time, results as follow….
The rate delivered yesterday was approximately between 7 and 7.2 mph over a period stretching through the late morning, afternoon and until midnight. Weather fairly warm for the time of year, between 8 and 11C. Little wind. Charged 40% to 93%
Rate delivered this lunchtime for about 3hrs was 8.5mph till it was up from the previous 93% to 100%. Colder and much windier! 5-6C.
Something in my little brain suggested beforehand that it would deliver a greater mph on warmer days but in this very unscientific experiment, the opposite occurred. Any charging experts out there who can comment on the results? Is the rate temperature dependent? Time of charge? %age left affects the rate? Other factors that my EV uneducated brain has not considered?
Please read, ponder and give me your thoughts. I shall perform this experiment periodically over the year to come.
